The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise, on the lower S-facing slope of a ridge; the ground slopes steeply down to SE and ENE. An oval area (39.6m NW-SE; 26.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.6m). Short stretches of the scarp are topped by low grass-covered foundations of a stone wall (Wth 1.4m; H c. 1m) along the E and S arcs. At the base of the scarp along the SE and W arcs is a terrace (Wth 5m and 11m respectively; H 0.4m). A NE-SW field boundary crosses the SE half of the interior.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
